Caltrans roadway: No High Injury Corridor: No High Crash Intersection: No

• Existing high visibility “ladder” crosswalk (upgraded 2022) • Existing yield lines (added 2022) Due to the curvature of the road, the marked crosswalk at Marcuse/Baywalk should be on the eastern side, where there are better sightlines. This will require concrete work in the existing median, which will be included even though concrete work is generally outside the scope of the Rapid Response program. Combined with the electrical work needed for RRFBs, the concrete work means the construction will take some time.
